Can you believe it? October has already come and gone! Which means another successful Gryfftoberfest has come and gone! Have you been under a rock this month and missed most of the shenanigans? Well, don’t worry, here’s a well-outlined recap!

September 24 - Motto Contest is posted. What will be our motto this year?
October 5 - Motto Contest is announced! Our new motto for this year’s Gryfftoberfest is The             Voices in Our Head Agree- We’re Not Crazy! Submitted by first year Jennifer Kusakabee!
October 6 - Gryfftoberfest Signature and Avatar Contest begins!
October 6 - Humfrey B.’s Trick or Treat contest begins. Tricks included tricks on Humfrey, Pinata         boils, introducing Humfrey to the internet, and infiltrating Slytherin’s dungeons to leave             blast-ended screwts in the boys’ clothing drawers.
October 6 - Gryfftoberfest Song Parodies begins. New parodies include Eno Thomas’s “Don’t Stop         Believing” Gryffindor for Third, Elisa Everlong’s “I’ll Make a Lion Out of You” and “Eye of the         Lion,” Fumei Shirokuro’s “Counting All the Lions,” Bay Reilly’s “In Gryffindor” and “Begin             Again,” Nymphadora Hex’s “Brick by Boring Brick,” Ada Pepperstone’s “Earning Points for             Gryffindor” and “Lion Style,” Allison Sullivan’s “Both Sides of Gryffindor for Third,”and Destri         Weasley’s “Rubies.”
October 6 - Gryfftoberfest Poetry Contest begins! Includes acrostics by Nymphadora Hex;                     Pandora Gotham, and Kailey Jones; hiakus by Nymphadora Hex and Bay Reilly; sonnets by             Nymphadora Hex; and regular poems from Eno Thomas and Pandora Gotham. I think it’s fair         to say Nymphadora takes the crown for Gryfftoberfest Poetry Queen! We’ve definitely                 learned she’s a fine poet!
October 7 - Groups and Spooks RPG begins, which included jello flying every which way at                     everyone. Therefore being forever known as the Jello Hijinx of 2012. And apparently                     meanwhile there were zombies in the dungeons? Classic example of the craziness we get             into here in Gryff.

October 7 - Find the Bewitched Items scavenger hunt begins. Hailey was truly an evil witch this         month and didn’t even tell participants the certain amount of items hidden. It turns out             there were 29 items hidden- and three were super hard to find! Only one of these was even         found. Super secret hiding spots included two prefects’ profiles and the comment section of         a popular Gryffindor arcade game.  
October 7 - Pumpkin Carving begins! Submissions included Nina Messersmith’s incredible angry             and devilish cat pumpkins and Pandora Gotham’s grim reaper pumpkin.
October 8 - The Fat Lady requests a new Gryfftoberfest dress.
October 14
- Pin the Gryffindor to their Homework begins. This contest consisted of students             trying to pass off a massive stack of homework to someone else.
October 15
- Winners were chosen for the Signature and Avatar Contest. Winning submissions             were created by Fumei Shirokuro (no surprise there!) and Eno Thomas! Siggies and Avys                 were then posted all over the Gryffindor Common Room and HOL forums. Fumei’s crazy lion         sig/avy seemed to be a popular favorite.
